I am buying a very cool house. Very cool! I started off looking for a place up in Hyde Park, but ended up finding a lovely place right downtown. It needs some work (a lot of work) but I’m ready. Gimme a hammer and a latter and I’ll nail things that are high off the ground all day long. I actually close on the place this coming week and I’m VERY excited. I’m probably going to take the next month or so to just get the place ready for move in. Need to get a fresh coat of paint on (any color suggestions?) and just give the place a good cleaning.

I’m probably going to have a big party in a month or two once I get a little more settled. I have big plans for the back yard to stay tuned. The yard is really a clean slate right now… nice and flat, a good tree, room for a couple of seating areas.

For those of you out there that have not been around me to hear all about the new place, let me break it down for you: It’s a lovely duplex at 6th and Highland. I’m living in the smaller one bedroom, one bath side and I have tenants living in the 2/1. The house is a good size and the back yard is not at all small. The house is currently in need of some major help with respect to “curb appeal”, but I’m thinking that a good coat of paint and some weekends spent in the yard will fix that. So exciting.

Here’s some pics of the place.
